http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxKJgOZXEho&feature=related The Joker is the leering, cruel, green-haired supervillain of the batman series of comics, movies and TV shows. The Joker was created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger, and was featured in the very first Batman comic book, Batman #1, published in 1940. In the original comics and in the later films, the Joker is a vicious, giggling psychopath who sometimes maims his victims with a version of his hideous grin. In other instances, like the goofy 1960s TV series (where he was played by Cesar Romero), he is more of a joke-loving mastermind, tossing bons mots and grenades with equal aplomb. In all cases the Joker's appearance has remained basically the same: white skin, green hair, bright red lips twisted into a garish cackle, and a wardrobe heavy on purple.
The Joker is sometimes called the Clown Prince of Crime... In many of the stories he is imprisoned in (or escapes from) Arkham Asylum, the mental hospital of Gotham City. The Joker is a villain because he enjoys hurting civilians with many different types of schemes to receive money from the Government. He attempts to rob banks, hold civilians hostage and try to kill batman. The type of villain qualities he has is the knowledge on how to obtain money illegally and how to hurt/kill civilians.
